Abstract:

In this study, it is aimed to compare some motoric and physiological parameters of the primary school students who play basketball sport or don't play basketball sport Fifteen people whose average age is 11,87±0,27 and who make the sport regularly and fifteen people whose average age is 10,07±0,15 and who don't do exercises attended to this study. The age, height, body weight, heart rate, flexibility, systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements of volunteers were taken. Tanita was used in the measurements of body fat, body mass index, lean body mass and total body fluid. Anaerobic power was calculated by taking vertical jump values and relative hand grip strength was calculated by taking hand grip strength values. The level of significance was taken 0.05. Significant differences were detected in the age, height, body weight, fat-free mass, total body water, right and left-hand grip strength, relative right and left-hand grip strength, anaerobic power and pulse parameters of volunteers (p<0.05). Significant differences were not found in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, body fat mass and body fat percentage (p>0.05). As a result, when examined both physical motoric and physiological characteristics of primary level students who make  sport or don't make sport, it was detected that the exercise showed positive effects on athletes. It was understood that strength and anaerobic power were an important factor in basketball sport. It is seen that also such factors as Training duration, intensity and age affect the functions closely.
